From _The Librarian's Yellow Pages_, 1994 (p. 60):

        Ingram Library Services         (800)937-5300
        One Ingram Blvd.                Fax (615)793-3810
        La Vergne, TN 37086-1986

        Ingram stocks over 200,000 titles in 6 distribution centers. We
        offer high discounts, dast, accurate shipments, and convenient
        ordering, including FlashBack electronic ordering.

I ordered from Ingram several years ago for building my HS poetry
collection. For other titles, I was told that they really specialized in
college & public library titles and didn't concentrate on schools.

BUT, last month at the Texas Library Association conference the Ingram
reps told me that they are now soliciting school library business and
WANT to help us. I intend to try them again because I liked their service
before.

By the way, the information inset above comes from a source I recommend
to all of you. It's in a "yellow pages phone book" format and covers just
about anything we're likely to be looking for. If you did not receive a
copy this spring call (800)235-9723 and ask for one. I asked for 2 and
keep one here at home just for times like this (:-) !
